Rotary Encoders

Rotary Encoders measure the number of rotations, the rotational angle, and the rotational position

TYPES

Incremental

Incremental Encoders output a pulse string according to the rotational displacement of an axis. The number of rotations can be detected by counting the number of pulses

E6A2-C -Compact Encoder with External Diameter of 25 mm

E6B2-C -General-purpose Encoder with External Diameter of 40 mm

E6C2-C -General-purpose Encoder with External Diameter of 50 mm

E6C3-C -Rugged Rotary Encoder

E6D-C -High-resolution Encoder

E6F-C -Rugged Rotary Encoder

E6H-C -Hollow-shaft Encoder

Absolute

Absolute Encoders output the rotational angle using an absolute code. The rotational position can be detected by reading the code. This eliminates the need to return to the origin at startup.
